Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as a treatment modality is associated with nutritional problems that are mainly caused by eating difficulties and gastrointestinal complications occurring at different stages of HSCT: starting from conditioning until late post-transplant period. Nutritional problems have in turn a negative impact on the outcomes of HSCT which demonstrates the importance of preventive measures and timely correction of these problems. The majority of patients who underwent HSCT experience various problems at different stages of treatment leading to a situation when enteral nutrition is impossible. This is why parenteral nutrition is of utmost importance in these patients. This review describes the main clinical factors that may influence the prescription of nutritional support to patients after HSCT as well as possible problems and negative consequences of inappropriate prescribing of parenteral nutrition.
